Re: Australian Federal Police Official Calls for legalization of Ecstasy and Marijuana

Yeah I agree OP this has been in the news a bit lately. IMO eccy's shouldn't be legalised but pot should, however I can't see much good in this happening. Legalising pot opens up the door for them to determine the potency and to tax it heavily.

Why shouldn't ecstacy be legal? It causes minimal public harm, it's far behind alcohol in terms of health effects. If it was legal it would be regulated and would be a lot safer in terms of what goes in it.

It would be even better if they used the money saved from enforcement on voluntary treatment centers for addiction. (not saying cannabis is physically addictive but other intoxicants sure as hell are and it would be great to have treatment available)

Re: Australian Federal Police Official Calls for legalization of Ecstasy and Marijuana

Personally I'm not a fan of pot as it's a lifestyle drug. You need more and more to get the same high that you used to get and that makes it more addictive. I know from growing up surrounded by pot heads.

Now ecstasy, bring it on. It's a party drug pure and simple and it's not addictive. Also, there's no fighting, only lots and lots of lovin'.

Good idea - put a shitload of cash into treatment facilities. Rehabilitation is possible and should be made available to those who need it. I could count on one hand the residential rehabs that I'm aware of. They need more beds, for sure. People literally die on waiting lists for those beds.
